With Haystack Gold, we can get far more detailed information in 30 seconds. Because the tool is interactive, we can browse through the data to make sure the answers are what we are looking for. Ensuring value pricing I love using Haystack Gold. It helps us justify our pricing. That s what I use Haystack for more than anything else - price justification. I work in the Emergency Buy Department and sometimes the pricing isn t as good as we would like it to be. We need further justification. That s when I go to Haystack to get my pricing and my justification. It helps with my documentation too. I love it for that. Delivering savings Upon searching for alternate sources through Procurement History in Haystack Gold, the part was found sitting on a shelf for a cost of $29,000. Even if we have the part refurbished, a saving of $18,000 is still achieved.

15 Case Study Issue Within a Lockheed C5 Galaxy, a faulty gauge is collecting moisture at high altitudes. This is a new problem with this aircraft and the reasoning is unknown. Crown Copyright US MoD Actions Engineers immediately begin working to decipher the root cause of the problem. Simultaneously, using Haystack Gold, the Equipment Specialist researches the procurement history of this particular Lockheed C5 Galaxy to uncover where this gauge originates from. Having uncovered this information, the team contacts the manufacturer to understand the reasons for the faulty gauge collecting moisture at high altitudes and guidance on fixing this issue. The manufacturer reveals empirical evidence with this batch of gauges for the Lockheed C5 Galaxy and recommends a replacement gauge as the solution. The engineering team submits a request to the procurement team for a new gauge for this platform. Because these batches of gauges are faulty, the Obsolescence Engineer recommends the acquisition of ten gauges to support the product lifecycles of their additional platforms. The procurement team utilizes Haystack Gold to acquire the part number and code, then submits an RFQ for ten gauges for bid. Vendors respond to this RFQ and the procurement team receives multiple bids for the replacement equipment. The team analyzes the bids and locates the most cost-effective vendor for this acquisition. Outcome Using Haystack Gold, this company is able to contact the manufacturer, locate the part needed and acquire it in a manner that saves them time and money, while supporting the platform s life-cycle.
